Hakafa means "encirclement."
We are a Reform congregation
of people who choose
to have no building,
no board of directors,
and no fund-raising.
Our CIRCLE has been growing
for nearly 40 years. But as we grow,
our intimate, caring, and
welcoming atmosphere remains.
AID FOR UKRAINE
We are all watching in horror as the assault on Ukraine intensifies. Below are some suggested organizations you can support that are helping to aid the Ukrainian people during this very difficult time. Praying for peace....
Direct Relief

International Medical Corps
World Union for Progressive Judaism
